  No? It’s hypocritical for Dems to demand voters give them money while telling people they want money out of politics. Personally I’d make it so politicians are paid the minimum wage of the state they represent and aren’t allowed to take bribes, donations, gifts from corporations or CEOs, and election funds are a pooled resource where everyone running for any party, big or small, has access to the same amount. Anyone found getting extra funds is immediately kicked out and banned from holding any level of government office, including even being a town mayor.

  If they truly wanted money out of politics then they’d stop begging people for donations every single election cycle.

  Good boomer humor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I never go anywhere special, so I guess I dress for myself. I’m most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt so even on days where I’m not going anywhere and will most likely stay home all day, I still shower and put those on. My shirts are all nerdy stuff with characters and logos all over them that I like. Never was a fan of plain, single color shirts. I just got a Mothra shirt and love it so much.

  I have a desire for cannibalism. I’ve heard human meat can be pretty tasty when cooked and seasoned just right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we still joke about setting up old wooden guillotines?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s cause yours comes off as more optimistic whereas the other comes off as more realistic. Like, as a recent example, Diddy should have gotten a life sentence or even at least 20 years in prison, but he only got 4 and at most he might serve like 1-2. Seeking justice through the proper channels in this world doesn’t work and won’t work till we destroy everything and rebuild even if the road to get there is paved in blood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly my part is pretty damn easy. The grocery store job I had before this was at least 5x harder and paid a hell of a lot less.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pulling, pushing, and blowing air into cow carcaases all day. None of that really applies to me. There’s no skills to learn other than I guess how to do it faster, but there’s only so fast you can go when the line stops frequently cause somebody somewhere along it is going slow or messed something up. As long as I’m not the reason it stops then that’s all that really matters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just don’t think everyone is capable of being passionate about any job, or at least ones that are realistically achievable. Personally speaking every single thing I’m passionate about and brings me happiness are things hundreds of thousands of people do for free, so who would pay someone a living wage to do it? At my current job I’m paid incredibly well for someone that never got anything above a high school diploma (currently make around $22k-31k post taxes and deductions for insurance depending on the amount of hours I work and will get a raise soon once I finish my initial 90 days), but I just show up and do the work then go home. I don’t talk to anyone (it’s also not an environment for casual conversation considering you have to basically scream in somebody’s face for them to hear you) and spend my breaks and lunch alone reading a book.

  Well yeah cause their company values are all just money and ways to make even more money. Nothing else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are in the US, and a karen threatens to call ICE on you, what's the best course of action?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Treat them like a shark and punch them in the nose before running away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d almost say that’s a discrimination suit waiting to happen if pretty much everywhere wasn’t “at-will employment”. My work doesn’t care what language you speak and I think HR is required to know a good amount of multiple languages cause of it. Granted most people don’t directly talk to each other here and communicate through hand signs since nobody can hear anyone anyway.

  I might need a year. I don’t get this level of happiness often.

  We can get there with A LOT more violence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do you consider joking about dying and killing oneself a sign that the person saying it is troubled?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I talk about wanting to blow my brains out all the time. Honestly just a way to vent frustration at life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jet Set Radio. Having so much fun once I got used to how floaty it can be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Anything that gives people monetary incentive over basic needs should be removed. Keep that shit to things that don’t matter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you make even a penny of profit, then yes. Housing should never be something someone does to make money. Shelter is a basic human need for survival.

  I just started playing the original Star Fox. Having a lot more fun with it than I thought I would.
